Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 1.5 cups Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 cup Pepper jack cheese
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the steak: Place the flank steak on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into thin, wide strips (about 3 inches wide). Place the strips between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the steak strips.

Step 3

Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion, cooking until softened (about 4-5 minutes). Set aside.

Step 4

Lay out each piece of steak and place a small amount of the sautéed vegetables near one end. Sprinkle with a layer of shredded pepper jack cheese.

Step 5

Roll up each steak piece tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.

Step 6

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak rolls seam-side down first for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness and has a nice char.

Step 7

While the steak rolls are cooking, mix together the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro in a small bowl.

Step 8

Once the steak rolls are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with the lime-cilantro mixture for a fresh finishing touch.

Step 9

Remove the toothpicks before serving and enjoy your South of the Border Steak Rolls as a main dish or appetizer with a side of salsa or guacamole!
